Founders say they've built 90% of their product and just need the last 10%.
Vitalii Sydorenko says it's backwards: the part you can see is the 10%.
Worth a listen.

As a solo founder, your mental bandwidth is your scarcest resource. Protect your focus fiercely by saying no to good ideas so you can execute brilliantly on the single great one.

Nobody tells you this before you start a company. Your calendar isn't full of your priorities.
It's full of everyone else's urgencies. 📅🔥

A lot of founder advice sounds very certain.
“Always do this.”
“Never do that.”
I've found startup decisions are usually much more annoying than that.
It depends.
A lot.

One thing startup life teaches you pretty quickly:
You can spend a lot of time working on something that nobody really needs.
That's probably why I now question the problem before getting too excited about the solution.

Every failed launch teaches you something invaluable about positioning, distribution, or timing. Treat your early product experiments as data points, not personal reflections. #FounderLessons #BuildInPublic #IndieHackers

A lot of startup advice makes things sound very predictable.
Real life feels much messier.
You try something, it doesn’t work, you change it, and try again.
That’s most of it.

Probably one of the most useful things I’ve learned so far:
Talk to people before making big assumptions.
Sounds simple.
Still something I have to remind myself to do.

I’m trying to judge my days less by how busy I was and more by what I actually learned.
Some of the quiet days end up being the useful ones.
What does a productive day look like for you?

Some days as a founder feel like progress.
You finish 10 things, reply to everyone, have a bunch of calls…
And then realize you didn’t really move the important thing forward.
Anyone else?

One thing I like about building products:
The market doesn't care how much effort you put into something.
It cares whether the thing is actually useful.
A little brutal.
But also a good reminder to keep listening, testing and improving.

You can’t outhustle a broken system.
More hours won’t fix disconnected inventory, accounting, purchasing, and operations.
Founders scale when the business stops depending on them to fix everything.
Systems create freedom.

One thing I learned the hard way -
If content depends on your mood or your time.
It’s already broken; you've already given an edge to your competitors.

Things I wish I knew before building a software agency.
Not the technical stuff.
The business stuff nobody tells you.
